Default Exhaust Evac system??

I am considering installing a old school exhaust evac system to pull the crankcase vapors out. I would tie it in downstream of O2 sensors. Has anyone had any experience with this? What are the pros/cons?

Only reason I dislike this is if you get any oil mist or drops in the exhaust itll smoke like a freight train.

Yeah... some people get away with this fine others need to put a catch can in line which solves that.

Mine doesnt smoke at all. What harm could come of it???? Just make sure its after your O2 sensors.
I made a good catch can half full of stainless kitchen scrubbers and each valve cover runs to the bottom of it w/ 1/2" hose, the exhaust pulls from the top of it though 3/4" hose and welded to the exhaust i used the factory air pump check valve. Its not like a vacuum cleaner but before i added it my oil would get milky looking (running E85) with it the oil looks brand new months after I changed it... so im guessing it works great.
